Why are my pants growing???

5:15 PM

Carolyn just did a post on "wearability" and it made me think. I wore my Hotpatterns Sailor Pants when I was in New York... this was the first time I've worn them. I had them on from morning until late night. By late night, they were nearly falling off because they had relaxed just that much. I've noticed this problem with most of my natural fiber pants, especially linen.

Can this be prevented?? My first thought is to initially make everything very fitted so when they relax, they will be the right size.
